I'm confused. I dont see anything out of the ordinary there. Not saying that you arent having the issue, but maybe its something that a screen capture wont pick up?

the screen cap dont show the fade the pic sucks sorry-

its supposed to be solid blue but on my phone its blue on the left and light blue on the right-

blacks are worst. Black on the left - Dark Purple on the Right

in person is the only way you can tell-

I do see a gradient effect, darker on the left, lighter on the right. If it's like that on any screen, something's wrong.

When did you get your replacement from Asurion? I just tried to file a claim a few minutes ago and it said that the Galaxy Nexus was on back order.

Did you file your claim online? I assume it didn't tell you anything about the GN being backordered, eh? I must have just missed the last of their stock then :(

Also, why'd you go Assurion v. Verizon for the first replacement? No warranty claim? If you wanted to avoid the CLN program, I don't blame you--it's garbage.

That being said, if you have a backup phone, it might be a good idea to send direct to Samsung and use that thing for a week or so.

That's my next step, especially considering i'm on device 4 and it's a huge PITA to relock every time.

Lol nm then. This third one is fine, or is the third one the one with the craziness?

You made the right move with Asurion IMO.
